turn the rest of tke data over to DTMB to have it run in bits and pieces as 

 time became available. Additional funds were made available to NYU by 

 ONR to perform the first part of this analysis, and I wrote an official 

 letter to DTMB outlining our plan. We would have the ajialysis on the first 

 set of data done commercially to provide an absolute check on the program- 

 ming and then turn the remaining work over to DTMBo 



From the beginning it had been our expectation that we would be able 

 to use the UNIVAC computer at DTMB to perform the analysis of the SWOP 

 data. That things did not turn out this way should not be taken as a reflection 

 against DTMB or any of the people on its staff. Without the encouragement 

 from DTMB, in particular, from Manley St, Denis, early in our planning 

 stage concerning possible use of their computer, we might not have gone 

 ahead. 



Arrangements were finally made to have the work done on the 

 "IjOgistics Compiiter", ONR Logistics Branch. Thanks are due to Dr„ Max 

 Woodbury and Dr. Fred D. Rigby of the ONR Logistics Branch for assist- 

 ance in making the Logistics Computer available and to Dr. William Mar- 

 low, Principal Investigator of the Logistics Research Project, and Mr, 

 George Stephenson, Head of the LRP Computation Laboratory in Washington, 

 D. C. Fortunately the Logistics Computer was able to make use of some of 

 the programming already worked out for the UNIVAC. The theory for level- 

 ing the data, and determining the spectrum is described in Part 8 of this 



report and the numerical procedures and the actual data obtained are given
